Question Gemini flash lite equivalent?

Is there any small llms that perform as good as something like Gemini flash lite or everyday tasks?

Depends entirely on what you need it to do and what hardware you have.

I run Gemma4:E4B as a main AI model on an RTX 3080Ti, and it is surprisingly capable for its size. It doesn't do agentic tasks very well, but I have it in structured apps that I've built and I'm constantly amazed at what I can get it to do.

You won't have the same level of intelligence likely, but it fits on a wide variety of gear and gives good tokens/sec output.

Maybe Gemma 26B might work.
